to the artists, designers and craftspeople who think I call their work kitsch... this is NOT the case, it refers to my own work

Current - Eline 't Sant

No matter in what environment Eline's installations are placed, they're always powerful and captivating.  They are engaging a new dialogue in a different setting.


This time the location is overpowering, litterally... the powerstation a the closed coalmine.  Flooding with light one first discovers the monumental engines.  It takes some time to find the almost hidden artworks.

Marc Janssens - sculptures

Marc Janssens' mixed-media sculptures never cease to amaze me since I first saw a few of them some 5 years ago in a gallery.  The sculptures always seem to have the same expression and yet they are so full of emotions.
But I've never seen them in a setting just so right.  I imagine the large engines of the power station coming to life at night to create these robust but fragile beauties.

familiar 'faces' at Truc Troc...

... I spot a few artworks from artists I have blogged about before or I've met in some other way.


Eline 't Sant - Ek treur nie meer nie - on the right

and her great parrots


Eline 't Sant - Green Parrot & Ara
These works were at an exhition HERE recently.
more about her in 'search this blog'





Jacques Dujardin with vegetal work behind glass.  Quite a few years ago we visited his studio in Tervuren (I didn't take pictures back then).  We had a nice conversation about his interesting art.  He does work with animal fat, if my memory does not trick me, and this made me link the next work of art to him although it is signed by another name (but same site). 


Franz Coquidor - Les derniers boudins belges
referring to the complicated political situation in our country?




Laurent Jourquin - Mouse and Monkey - very popular attracting the youngest visitors of the event.
a similar piece in the exhibition HERE





Peggy Wauters





Peggy Wauters - Correction
more about this multi-disciplinary artist in 'search this blog'





Sonia Aniceto - Oiseau Nageur & mes deux mères


detail of painting mixed with textiles and stitching


same here ... I love it.  Yes, I put a note for an exchange offer, but some of them are so valuable and interesting I can't compete.
This kind of work keeps catching my attention.  I've come accross her work at a few occasions and I'm always drawn to it.  View more posts in the 'search this blog' on top right of page.



And in the distance I see another water scene and there is no doubt, it is a painting by ...

Arne Reynaert - Looking 4 - in the back
